Youtube Videos

[Hooli]

I've been fiddling with how Youtube videos are embedded here and simplified it. We now have yt tags to replace the youtube ones Gus setup.
Just copy the URL from your browser over to here, for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W5Iip6iDLY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Then either highlight it & click the yt button or add the tags manually so you end up with

Code: Select all

[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W5Iip6iDLY[/yt]

Then when you submit your post the video will appear thus

like this






edit after checking yip like that

Hmmmm !
Previously I tried to make it work so that you could use either the url, the embedded tags or the id number - but couldn't seem to make it work with all three, so just picked the easiest two.
I did intend to tweak it so that it would work with ALL video players.
I guess I won't be bothering now.

Your tags still work if you prefer them Gus, I just set this up as the way 99% of forums I use work so I'd expect people to be more familiar with it.

I think whichever way you do it there will always be folk who can't work out how it works !
I tried to make it work all ways - but failed miserably.
And as for trying to include Google Videos, Daily Motion, Godknowswhatelse - I barely got started.

I've not even considered those! I did it as random thing to see if i could while i couldnt sleep.

And don't even get me started on sodding Quicktime plug-ins !
Gah !

This wouldn't fit in an existing thread, and it wasn't worth starting a new one :

Which goes to prove there is NO reason she should have ever earned a title as 'totty'.
